Finally Finding SELDOM SEEN SLIM | Reaching the End of the Rainbow | Ballarat, CA

The journey to seek out Seldom Seen Slim concludes in Ballarat, California. Here we find the final resting place of Slim and examine where he spent his remaining years. Our whole journey from old mining ghost towns through Death Valley led here. Seldom Seen Slim, born Charles Ferge, was a prospector known throughout the American Southwest. Often seen as the original desert rat, Slim moved from mining town to mining town across Nevada and California. He felt at home in the desert landscapes and enjoyed the quiet and solitude that it offered. This simple man who felt at peace with enough meager belongings to get by in his prospecting activity ended up in Ballarat later in life and became somewhat of a local celebrity. Despite the name "Seldom Seen", Slim was said to be quite welcoming of company and enjoyed sharing information and history about the area. Slim's lifestyle and carefree attitude made him a bit of an archetype of the prospector of the Old West. His likeness is seen throughout the region as an older man with a mule.
